Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1552 - 1393: Authorities are Confused (Two in One)_2

Chapter 1552: Chapter 1393: Authorities are Confused (Two in One)_2

Li Wan’er knew that Su Ran had made over twenty million in the game, which made the rejuvenating soup look trivial in comparison.

"Wan’er, could you not mention the things that I wish to avoid? I’m already broke..."

Su Ran felt that Sister Wan’er was just like his mom, both had great cooking skills, couldn’t keep things to themselves, and blurted everything out. It was a wise choice not to tell her about his dual identity in the game.

"What? All that money is already gone? I don’t even know what to say! Yu Jing, you have to keep an eye on your soda water man, don’t let him handle the money; he spends way too much!"

Li Wan’er was so shocked she didn’t know how to express herself. More than twenty million, gone without even having warmed up? Buying a house would have been better, right?

"Sister Wan’er, what are you talking about!"

Lin Yuqing blushed, covering her face and turning away, her heart thumping uncontrollably.

"There’s nothing to be shy about, what era are we in, right, Su Ran?"

"..."

Su Ran was speechless, the atmosphere in the room became awkward. Feeling helpless, he went into the kitchen, took out three bowls, and divided the rejuvenating soup into three portions, using the meal to shut her up to keep her from saying anything more!

After the meal, Li Wan’er consciously left, giving the young couple some alone time.

"Soda water, how’s your body... okay?"

With just the two of them left in the room, Lin Yuqing suddenly felt embarrassed. She hugged Xiao Hei, easing her tense mood, "I see you walk much better than before, it seems you have had quite the adventure in the game, haven’t you?"

"Yeah, entering this battle between gods and demons was the right choice."

Su Ran nodded heavily and pulled out some study materials from another bag, smiling, "There’s still time now, shall we review our lessons together?"

"It won’t delay your things in the game, will it?"

Lin Yuqing hesitated, as the game was crucial for Su Ran’s condition and could not be neglected.

"Most of the regular tasks are already complete. I haven’t figured out the important plot tasks, and I don’t even know how to continue."

Su Ran remembered what the old woman had told him, that persisting in the Fire God Trial would end up fruitless, and he did not want to face such an outcome. He had to temporarily put aside the trial, but if he didn’t complete it, he couldn’t leave the plot space—indeed a headache.

Taking a break in reality might be good, maybe a spark of inspiration would come up with a solution.

"Then okay, just perfect for you, Su the Talented, to tutor me. I’ve been only playing games this winter break, didn’t even look at the textbooks once, I feel really sorry for my teacher,"

Lin Yuqing said somewhat embarrassedly, "If I don’t review now, it’ll be like returning all the knowledge from the past few years back to the teacher..."

"It’s been a long time since I self-studied too, I’m not much better than you now."

Su Ran had self-awareness, and he and Yu Jing began targeted learning, first marking out the key knowledge points before delving into the tedious study.

For the first time, he felt how slowly time passed when studying; a day had gone by without much gameplay, which made him wonder if he was on the verge of degeneration.

"Ah, Soda water, you got this knowledge point wrong, and you were the one who taught me back then, haha, it turns out not studying really doesn’t work, let’s both work hard!"

"Making mistakes isn’t scary, what matters is correcting them."

...

Unknowingly, the two of them studied for nearly three hours, immersed in the sea of knowledge. Su Ran even began to feel a strange sense of unfamiliarity and inner resistance. The Nutrition Cabin seemed to extend an invisible hand, itching his heart, constantly giving him the urge to dive into the game for a big battle, which made it hard for him to concentrate, thus his learning efficiency did not improve.

Su Ran was aware of this disadvantage, like a drug addict that no one could help but himself, he had to rely on his own will to resist the game’s call. With great effort, he managed to suppress this addiction and immersed himself in studying, not even noticing Li Wan’er’s arrival.

Seeing the two studying seriously, Li Wan’er didn’t disturb them and started busying herself in the kitchen.

...

After dinner, Su Ran saw off the two girls and then entered the game to relieve his long-repressed emotions.

What Su Ran did not expect was that after logging in, he found that the Fire God City was gone.

"What’s going on?"

Su Ran couldn’t believe his eyes, he remembered clearly, he logged out inside Fire God City, not willing to believe it, he scanned his surroundings again, but all that was left was a desolate wilderness—the city had just vanished into thin air.

What exactly happened to Fire God City during this time?

Did the Fire God make his move, forcibly relocating Fire God City?

Or did the Black Tiger of Extinction lead its tribe here and completely destroy Fire God City?

Or perhaps, in the moment before he logged out, he fell into a trap and was forcibly teleported out?

Any of these possibilities could have occurred, but Su Ran just happened to miss them, which made him somewhat amused and frustrated; no wonder he had been feeling the game’s call, so this was the situation...

It turns out, balancing study and gaming, like trying to have both fish and bear’s paws, is impossible!

Since it has already happened, all he could do was accept this absurd reality. Using the coordinates, he realized this place was undoubtedly originally Fire God City’s coordinates, but he found no traces of battle, not even ruins, which was really strange.

"Now I’m in trouble, the task for the repair fluid isn’t completed yet and the city is gone, it could have at least disappeared after I completed my task!"

Su Ran somewhat regretted, had he known this scenario would occur, he would have chosen to secure the repair fluid first; now with this unexpected change, how should he proceed with the next tasks, leaving Su Ran in a state of confusion.

"That’s right, go to the eastern mountains, and find the Black Tiger of Extinction!"

He understood, given the grudge and causality between the Black Tiger and Fire God, he could definitely find traces of Fire God City, better than aimlessly groping around!

Thinking this, Su Ran didn’t hesitate at all and ran quickly towards the teleportation array, wanting to understand what had happened, he must keep up with the plot’s progress!

"Swoosh!"

After entering the eastern mountains, Su Ran continued to shuttle through the forest, he had no time to level up and didn’t provoke a single monster, and soon reached the peak of the eastern mountains.

The Six Harmonies Magnetic Heart Array had already been personally destroyed by him, so there was no suction force pulling him into the hidden space. Su Ran had nothing to worry about, he jumped right in and ran quickly towards the den of the Black Tiger of Extinction.

However, what puzzled Su Ran even more was that he drew a blank again this time, he didn’t even see a shadow of a Black Tiger in the entire den, which made him somewhat suspicious and unable to understand what play the system was staging.

Most crucially, the system didn’t give any hints, leaving Su Ran completely in the dark and momentarily indecisive.

"The Black Tiger disappeared, Fire God City disappeared, there must be a connection between the two, where could they have gone?"

Su Ran recalled what the old crone had said, that he was the only variable in Fire God City, to change the fate of Fire God City, it had to be him alone, and he needed to stay firm in his beliefs, not waver...

Insiders are often confused, to break the predicament, he could only rely on himself, it really made the old crone’s words accurate; even the Black Tiger was unreliable, truly frustrating!

"I can’t keep relying on this anymore, the longer the time drags on, the colder any hot dish will get!"

Su Ran had already made up his mind, even if Fire God City was transported to the ends of the earth, he would find it! In Su Ran’s heart, there still lingered a glimmer of hope, that during the clash between the Black Tiger and Fire God, it would definitely create a big commotion, exposing the coordinates would not be a problem then.

After leaving the eastern mountains, Su Ran released his avatar, the Dark Bone Eagle, planning to operate on two fronts with his avatar, to search separately; this way, his exploration range could be even broader, saving quite a bit of time.

It must be said, the terrain of the Trial Space is incredibly vast; Su Ran walked towards the southeast for nearly ten minutes and had still not seen the edge of the boundary, this cast a shadow over his heart. With such a large span of terrain, finding a city was not an easy task, but what else could he do but explore bit by bit—even finding the Black Tiger tribe alone would suffice!

Just as Su Ran was fretting, a thunderous explosion interrupted his thoughts, making him not startled but rather delighted, without a second word, he immediately dashed towards the direction of the explosion.

Finally, a clue for the mission appeared!
